You might be a birder if... (#5)

1. You spend most of the day on Saturday, after getting up at 4 a.m.
making a five-hour drive, in near zero degree weather in snow and sleet
with wet feet and inadequate clothing, looking for an unusual bird, and
then exclaim "YES!" with a big grin on Monday morning when someone at
work asks you if you had a good weekend.

2. Every time you practice your bird calls thinking that you are
alone, someone pops up from out of nowhere.

3. The nastiest words in your vocabulary come out exclusively while
birding.

5. When it come to chasing after birds, you sometimes, in fact
regularly, walk the very thin line between courage and plain
ol' stupidity.

6. You enjoy living, love your family and friends, have life
insurance and worry about your health - but routinely attempt suicide
every time you get behind the wheel of a car because you're always
looking for birds and never at the road.
